Personally identifiable information

[edit]

We should clarify that vanishing does not remove your access to an account, or the personally identifiable information associated with it. Whenever ppl ask to get their account deleted, we often point them here, but we never explain them how to remove their email or password access from this page. For gdpr reasons, they might be expecting their email adres not to be present in a potential data leak, after they vanished. maybe add it to the "What vanishing is not" section? —TheDJ (talkcontribs) 22:49, 1 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've added both as final instructions in the 'how to vanish' section. Special:Diff/1227204862. -- zzuuzz (talk) 11:11, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
